Racing saves the day at Saudi Arabian GP: talking points
Then even where luck usually runs in his favour, that seems to have deserted Hamilton now. As both Fernando Alonso and Daniel. Ricciardo lost power, the safety car interlude Hamilton needed to negotiate his single pit stop and still score good points looked set to fall his way.
Schumacher was declared fit to race, but his team benched him to save the car for Australia. That goes against the natural instinct of racing teams – but this early in the season, spares are in short supply and the cars are being shipped straight from Jeddah to Melbourne. If Mick scores in Albert Park, as well he might, the cautious approach will pay off.
Assurances of safety from F1 and government officials didn’t entirely wash, for good reason, and the drivers were locked in talks through Friday night and into the wee small hours of Saturday before they finally agreed to race. Few would have blamed them had they pulled the plug, although the consequences might have been troubling, in a variety of ways. Instead, sport’s happy distraction from the depressing ugliness of the real world held firm.But it was nearly so different.
